For this case we have the following inequality:


y-x <-3

We must evaluate each of the points and verify if the inequality is met:


(6,2)\\2-6 <-3\\-4 <-3

The inequality is met!


(2,6)\\6-2 <-3\\4 <-3

It is not fulfilled!


(2, -1)\\-1-2 <-3\\-3 <-3

It is not fulfilled!

Thus, the point that meets the inequality is (6,2)

Answer:

Option A
